Hello all!
I've recently bought a Rabbit 40 /HX40A laser cutter/engraver and I've been getting to know how it works and how to fix those little quirky problems. Unfortunately after going along absolutely fine earlier this evening, and almost managing to cut my first 'real' acrylic piece, it all seems to have gone a bit wonky.
It seemed to stop cutting as strongly so I got my trusty bit of masking tape out (as suggested in the setup video - end of [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPfQjAwz54M"]YouTube- HX40A/40B 2[/ame] and very start of [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaj1HcILwPk"]YouTube- HX40A/40B3[/ame]) to test the laser and it's producing a pattern like this:
Normally of course it'd produce a tiny dot so the great big curve at the bottom and the practically non-existent dot are not right at all. I've taken the lens out and cleaned it, taken the mirror out and cleaned it, checked the alignment on the other mirrors (not great but then what am I expecting!).
Any suggestions?
Any help very much appreciated! I was so close to getting going :S
